us world order is so fucking gay, being a subject of red china unironically looks like a decent alternative for some
I know enough I would rather do glowpost style activities instead of living under their thumb. Clown world sucks ass but it doesn't even compare to what China has in store for those it holds contempt towards.
 
The USA has deployed 4 naval destroyers to Europe to join the U.S. Naval buildup there

4 East Coast Destroyers Deploy to Europe Joining U.S. Naval Buildup

This post has been updated to correct the homeports for USS Mitscher (DDG-57) and USS The Sullivans (DDG-68).


The Navy sortied four East Coast guided-missile destroyers as the U.S. and NATO have massed naval forces in the region, USNI News has learned.


Arleigh Burke-class destroyers USS Donald Cook (DDG-75) USS Mitscher (DDG-57) USS The Sullivans (DDG-68) and USS Gonzalez (DDG-66) left the U.S. last month as independent deployers for U.S. 6th Fleet.


“Throughout their deployment, they will participate in a range of maritime activities in support of the U.S. 6th Fleet and our NATO allies,” Navy spokesman Cmdr. Arlo Abrahamson told USNI News on Thursday.


Gonzalez and Mitscher, based at Naval Station Norfolk, Va., and Donald Cook and The Sullivans, based in Naval Mayport, Fla., departed from the East Coast in January, according to ship spotters.


All four ships are also configured for ballistic missile defense.


Cook and The Sullivans both returned from Europe last year. Cook was forward-deployed to Rota, Spain for seven years before returning to the East Coast in July. The Sullivans deployed last year with the U.K. Royal Navy’s HMS Queen Elizabeth (R08) carrier strike group and returned in November. Both ships are part of Task Force Grey Hound – an anti-submarine warfare detachment U.S. 2nd Fleet stood up last year as a sustainment mission for ships awaiting maintenance.


The ships join the four Navy BMD destroyers based in Rota, Spain – USS Ross (DDG-71), USS Roosevelt (DDG-80), USS Porter (DDG-78) and USS Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) and the Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group operating in the Mediterranean Sea.


Navy officials on Thursday took pains not to directly tie the deployments to the simmering tensions between the U.S. and Russia over the 100,000 Russian troops on the border of Ukraine and the Russian naval buildup in the Black Sea. However, the collection of ships in U.S. 6th Fleet is the largest American naval force in Europe since 2018, according to USNI News carrier deployment database.


In 2018, the Truman CSG operated in the Mediterranean Sea for 79 days largely in support of Operation Inherent Resolve, the anti-ISIS missions in Syria and Iraq.


Now, USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75), Carrier Air Wing 1 and its escorts have been on station near the entrance to the Black Sea since late December under orders from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, USNI News reported.


Two of Truman’s escorts – USS Cole (DDG-67) and USS Jason Dunham (DDG-109) – had been operating in U.S. Central Command while USS Bainbridge (DDG- 96), USS Gravely (DDG-107) and Royal Norwegian Navy frigate HNoMS Fridtjof Nansen (F310) have been in 6th Fleet. Jason Dunham has recently returned to the Mediterranean, according to shipspotters.


Truman is also accompanied by guided-missile cruiser USS San Jacinto (CG-56).


The strike group recently wrapped the NATO-led Neptune Strike, which featured Italian Navy F-35B aircraft carrier ITS Cavour (CVH-550). The group also operated with French Navy carrier FS Charles de Gaulle (R 91) and its escorts.


The Navy announcement comes a day after the Russian Navy sent six amphibious warships into the Black Sea and two Russian guided-missile cruisers to the Mediterranean Sea.

You neglected to mention the part where NATO compromised the leaders of the post-Soviet nations and stole their resources to enrich already wealthy anglos or just destabilized the nations to pressure Russia.

Don't forget who NATO always was.

Wow NATO is based as fuck. Why would you post a Russian L like this? Lmao

"Russia is totally definitely gonna invade this time!" Says Biden-era CIA

The same CIA that brought us such great hot takes like "Afghanistan totally won't fall in under a week"
I’m glad some in this site agree with this. There is nothing to gain from a Russian invasion of Ukraine for Putin and he has even somewhat acknowledged that Russia would probably lose.

Western media is complicit in the hype because it gets clicks and they’ve had a hate boner for Russia for nearly a decade. The narrative is something along the lines of “crazy aggressive Russians threaten poor defenses Ukraine for no reason” when the reasons for the troop buildup are explicitly clear: Russia does not want another NATO country in its border (much less one it is fighting already).

Yes, it's the fault of Western media for saying 200,000 men on the border preparing for invasion looks like war might happen. Muh russia's a goo boy he dindunuffin.

I wish it was still the case, but most of the WW2 generation was gone from leadership positions around 1980. Because of enforced western denazification the lessons of the previous generation was not imparted upon the children, and so the preceding generation of leaders became soft and naïve, almost every political decision doing more harm than good. It's noticeable that it took merely a decade for Europe to rebuild itself from ruin after WW2, and yet modern governments can't maintain current infrastructure even with the money printer going BRRRRRRRRRRRR to infinity
 
Even if there was an invasion, Putin wouldn't want all of Ukraine, just the Russian speaking parts.

Besides, What happened with Belraus being the latest part of Russia?

Belarus is already russian for all intents and purposes. they do what Russia wants. all of this is because that is how Ukraine used to be but started to move towards the EU and NATO. The smart thing for Russia to do would have to stated their complaints and negotiate. instead they sperged out and invaded, there by destroying any and all goodwill they had built and absolutely butt fucking all economic gains they got after the fall of the USSR.
 
I've been browsing the more schizophrenic parts of the web and have a new favorite schizo-theory. They're gonna bring us either to the brink or actually start WW3 here, then do a big ole Project Blue Beans to end it and do the world government thing. Gonna be fun on a bun!

This, it doesn't matter what Russia annexes, as soon as they launch an invasion it will make the sanctions put on them after Crimea seem pretty tame and they'll be China's personal special bitch afterwards.

Know what is produced in Ukraine? A lot of transport vehicles, including spacecraft. Yes, spacecraft.

They have their own space agency.

I'm waiting for aliens. Or for humans to do something blindingly stupid and try blaming it on aliens. One of those.
 
The comment about "mass layoffs" seems to be really interesting. Is there anymore details about it anywhere?
That's just yet another "I'm crimean's granddaughter and nothing is that simple" kind of shit, uncle borya just seem to keep with propaganda fallacy as usual because "mah vlad the flea poopoo hate reeeee".

In fact... I don't know. I mean, Russian cntract service is a very deep iceberg and you can't know anything about it, really, since every army base\camp\polygon\etc. have its own pros and cons in terms of contract army service.

I was unfortunate to serve in Volgograd and one of 150th Division 103th Regimnent in Rostov. Shitty places, not going to lie.
There were some good people tho...
